Israel is only allowed to get away with this because we have an international order where law does not apply equally, where people are not valued the same, and where might equals right. The US has hijacked #internationalLaw and is violating its own laws to protect Israel at every turn. A recently-leaked #USAID memo states that ' #famine in Gaza is inevitable,' and that 'changes could reduce but not stop widespread #civiliandeaths.' It also states that the government of Israel does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance with #USlaw required to receive #USmilitary aid. Nevertheless, last week, the #USCongress passed and Biden signed a $26 billion aid package for Israel. It is this kind of naked impunity, over decades, that has brought us to this point where Israel can carry out a #genocide "
